And whereas all these offers have been going by, there’s been loads of rumours doing the rounds, too.
Here is the choose of the bunch.
The hearsay
Chief-Sport have reported Liverpool are eager to signal proficient goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili for €80m, earlier than sending him out on mortgage to Bournemouth for the 2024/25 season.
Our take
So…the place do you even begin with this one?
How about the truth that, regardless of not signing anybody thus far this summer time, Liverpool are set to fork out on a goalkeeper, AKA actually the very last thing they want?
Or the very fact they’d be signing a participant for the third largest payment they’ve ever spent simply to then ship mentioned participant out on mortgage to Bournemouth?
There isn’t any world through which this hearsay is sensible.
The hearsay
In keeping with El Nacional, Cristiano Ronaldo has requested Al Nassr to signal Antony from Manchester United this summer time.
Our take
El Nacional actually are the present that retains on giving throughout the 2024 summer time switch window.
This week they’ve conjured up one other doozy, this time with Ronaldo appearing as Al Nassr’s sporting director to try to signal the United outcast.
The hearsay
The Solar have reported Juventus are thinking about signing Liverpool’s back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Our take
Contemplating Juve signed Michele Di Gregorio as their new first selection goalkeeper a couple of month in the past, this hearsay screams ‘we did not hassle trying on the Juventus squad or any of their latest enterprise’.
Shifting on.
The hearsay
Our mates over at El Nacional have insisted Barcelona are bracing for Chelsea to make an method for Fermin Lopez.
Our take
El Nacional are again with a reasonably protected switch story this time.
Whereas Fermin leaving Barcelona does not take advantage of sense on this planet for the participant or the membership, Chelsea making their one billionth signing of 2024 definitely does.
We would not be fully shocked if this deal got here to fruition as a result of, properly, Chelsea.
The hearsay
Soccer Insider imagine Liverpool are braced for an method from Saudi Arabia for star man Mohamed Salah, with the membership viewing a bid of round £100m to be ‘exhausting to show down’.
Our take
We’re wrapping up this week with a hearsay that truly does make a little bit of sense. Salah has been notably courted by Saudi Professional League groups over the past 12 months and appears set to finish up within the Center East at some stage.
For as soon as, nevertheless, it will be good to get an precise crew title when Salah is being linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
